      This is lovely. I stared and stared at it. The colors are subtle and sort of mesmerizing. And it has movement. The variegated yarn gets you going sideways and the cables angle off in two directions.

        Thank you Michelle.
        😂no, I’m not sure Michelle. But ladies of a certain age can’t have things too hot 🥵. It did look lovely on her then!

        @Jacqueline W: oh that's not fair who said ladies of a certain age can't wear hot pink jumpers as long as she doesn't wear leggings and high heels she would be fine.lol.😂😂💕

        Thank you Elaine. I love the yarn too. Had it for 4 years to knit me a cardigan but still not got around to it! I might get more to knit one for me🥰
